The website Art Voice asked people what they wanted in 2017

[GMDino]

And Trump's New York Campaign Co-Chair got right to the heart of the matter.

Quote:THE QUESTIONS WE POSED:
1. What would you most like to happen in 2017?
2. What would you like to see go away in 2017?
3. Who would you like to see run for mayor of Buffalo in next year’s election?
4. Should the new $50 million Amtrak station be at Central Terminal or Canal Side?




Carl Paladino

DEVELOPER, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, POLITICAL ACTIVIST
1.  Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford.  He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.

2.  Michelle Obama.  I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.

3. Someone with a brain, a set of balls and a lack of fear who has enough money so as not to owe anyone anything once elected and who believes in a market economy.

4. We need a $50 million dollar train station as much as we need parasitic people like Lou Ciminelli, 80% of the school board and the dizziness of socialistic progressive politicians who never signed the front of a paycheck.  At best 400 people a day take a train.  They are not complaining about exchange or Depew.  We are already the laughingstock of America for having the dumbest elected leaders ever.  Why add to it.

It should be added that several people in the link above responded they want him to run for Mayor of Buffalo.


Seriously.


Naturally the "media" is to blame along with all those who don't have a sense of humor:

Quote:Paladino to Media: My comments in Artvoice were not racist; ‘Tough Luck if you don’t like my answer’

By Carl Paladino;

(Editor’s note: Along with dozens of others, Carl Paladino was asked by Artvoice to answer four questions about the coming year. Respondents answers were published on 12/22/16. [http://artvoice.com/2016/12/23/want-2017-lot-different-opinions/#.WF1fzRsrJhF.]  Paladino’s comments about Barak and Michele Obama were labeled as ‘racist’ by many readers. The comments went viral and were covered by the Washington Post, Huffington Post, all local news media, Albany Times, New York Daily News and other newspapers in NYC and dozens of other national media outlets.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran against Paladino for governor, and Erie County Executive (both Democrats) issued public statements criticizing Paladino.  Carl’s remarks were in response to Artvoice queries: 1. “What would you most like to happen in 2017?” and 2. “What would you like to see go away in 2017?”   Paladino’s answers were: 1. ” Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford.  He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarret, who died weeks prior, after being convicted of sedition and treason, when a Jihady cell mate mistook her for being a nice person and decapitated her.” 2.  “Michelle Obama.  I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla.” 
In the firestorm that followed Carl Paladino issued the following response:
 
This is in response to my comments published in Artvoice:

It has nothing to do with race.  That’s the typical stance of the press when they can’t otherwise defend the acts of the person being attacked.

It’s about two progressive elitist ingrates who have hated their country so badly and destroyed its fabric in so many respects in 8 years.

It’s about them diminishing the respect for their country on the world scene, surrendering its status as the protector of human rights, disgracing the memory of its veterans who gave so much.

It’s about demeaning and weakening what was the most powerful military in the world, firing hundreds of good soldier Generals and Admirals who refused Barack’s illegal and irresponsible dictates.

Michelle hated America before her husband won.  She then enjoyed all the attention, the multi -million dollar vacations, the huge staff and other benefits.  Then when Hillary lost, she and Barack realized that without Hillary, there was no one to protect the little, if any, legacy he had.  That’s when Michelle came out and said there is no hope for America.  Good, let her leave and go someplace she will be happy.

As for Barack, he’s a yellow-bellied coward who left thousands to die in Syria and especially Aleppo and he gets on TV and says he feels bad he couldn’t do anything about it.

He supported the mass migration without vetting of people from Muslim countries and the open borders, not for the people, but to expand the democratic base to a permanent majority.

He couldn’t care less about the people.  He just commuted the sentences of another 650 drug pushers responsible for selling poison to our kids.

It’s about the middle class, silent majority, rising up to destroy the Republican and Democrat establishment in America.

It’s about the end of an era when the people took all their information from the main street media, letting them tell us what the issues are and how to resolve those issues. People no longer trust the press.

It’s about that fraudulent, shadow government with a lazy ass president who allowed non-Americans like Valerie Jarret to run the government on a day to day basis and order the Stand down in Benghazi and the later cover-up that does matter.

It’s about Lois Lerner and the head of the IRS and the other criminal officials who haven’t been prosecuted or even investigated because the leaders of the progressive movement are above the law.

It’s about the end of the progressive movement and reset of the direction of America for the next 30 years.

It’s about a president who interfered in a presidential election for his successor so flagrantly that he called Trump unfit for office.

It’s about a president who for eight years did absolutely nothing for black children in our urban centers held prisoner by the cycle of poverty and illegitimate black leadership more interested in power and preserving their voting base by keeping them hungry and uneducated in the inner cities.

And yes, it’s about a little deprecating humor which America lost for a long time.  Merry Christmas and  tough luck if you don’t like my answer.

Also, naturally, he pushes several false stories, twisted narratives and personal bias.


Welcome to Trumpland.

The first response raises eyebrows; the second is jaw-dropping.

Imagining the first lady as a black gorilla certainly follows a traditional of racist imagery in the US.

So many claims here impervious to counterfactuals--the Benghazi conspiracy being the most prominent; also the notion that Democrats bring in immigrants to expand their voting base; so much attributed to "progressives" who have stolen the country from real Americans. (Reminds me of St. Lucie)

Racism and conspiracy, impervious to disconfirmation, presented as "in your face" speaking truth to power. unapologetic balls.

This is why I say that right wing news media have mainstreamed what used to be the fringe of anti-communism and race conspiracy.

For the record.....
I do not ever recall my balls apologizing for a damn thing.
I have apologized to them a few times though.

Well this is shocking.

Seems Mister un-PC there still got 33% of the vote for Governor and made the school board AFTER revelations of his "non-racist" free speech.

Quote:This is just another day at the office for Paladino, who told The New York Observer in August that " there is no doubt [President Obama] is a Muslim, he is not a Christian," and said later in the month that Khizr Khan "doesn't deserve the title" of Gold Star parent. And, of course, Paladino is the guy who, during his 2020 campaign for governor, was revealed as a serial forwarder of pornographic and racist emails, including such gems as this:

↓ Story continues below ↓




as well as a video of dancing monkeys captioned "Obama Inauguration Rehearsal."

After that revelation, Paladino still won thirteen New York counties and more than 1.5 million votes -- 33.5% of the total vote. He was elected to the Buffalo school board this year.

And he's an occasional commenter on Fox -- in fact, he is sometimes a moral scold. Here he is on Fox denouncing Hillary Clinton aide Jennifer Palmieri and another Clinton ally for remarks made about high-profile right-wing Catholic converts in emails published by Wikileaks:





Short of appearing in public wearing full Klan regalia or a swastika armband, there's literally nothing a conservative can say or do that will lead to banishment from the right-wing pundit class. Paladino will remain in good standing on the right after the latest remarks. There are no consequences. Maybe Paladino will be forced to step down from the school board (though you'll notice that his Maine doppelganger, Paul Le Page, who actually got himself elected governor, is still in office after many offensive words and deeds). And maybe Paladino will lose again if he runs for governor in 2018, as he's threatening to do. But he'll always have a home on Fox.
